The High Sheriff of County Waterford was the Sovereign's judicial representative in County Waterford. Initially an office for lifetime, assigned by the Sovereign, the High Sheriff became an annual appointment following the Provisions of Oxford in 1258. Besides his judicial importance, the sheriff had ceremonial and administrative functions and executed High Court Writs. The first (High) Shrievalties were established before the Norman Conquest in 1066 and date back to Saxon times. In 1908, an Order in Council made the Lord-Lieutenant the Sovereign's prime representative in a county and reduced the High Sheriff's precedence. Despite however that the office retained his responsibilities for the preservation of law and order in a county.〔 ==High Sheriffs of County Waterford== *1424: Nicholas Poer〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= The Peerage )〕 *1535: Sir Richard Poer〔 *1607: Laurence Esmond, 1st and last Lord Esmond, Baron of Lymbrick〔 *1613: Sir Richard Smyth of Ballynatray〔 *1639: Edward Fitgerald〔 *1663: Valentine Greatrakes *1666: Richard Moore of Clonwel〔 *1670: John Nettles of Toureen〔 *1671: Sir Richard Osborne, 2nd Baronet〔 *1672: Sir Thomas Osborne, 5th Baronet〔 *1673: *1687: Richard Fitzgerald〔 *1690: Bejamin Bolton〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Bolton Families in Ireland )〕 *1691: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High Sheriff of County Waterford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
